MTA FARES UP, BERNIE MADOFF SENTENCED & RUN DMC GET A STREET



In this great city of New York, the MTA just raised their fares to $2.25 from $2.00. The weekly Metrocard went from $25 to $27 and a monthly card has gone from $81 to $89.


The city and people are broke. Can it with these raises!!




Bernie Madoff the monster who swindled thousands of people out of millions of dollars and didn't shell out one single penny of his own money, was sentenced to 150 years in prison.





The pioneers of rap Run DMC are getting a street named after them in Hollis, Queens where they grew up!


The New York City Council approved a new bill today stating, Run-DMC JMJ Way, in Hollis Queens, will be named after the legendary rap group.

Once Mayor Michael Bloomberg signs the bill into law, the corner of 205th Street and Hollis Avenue will officially be renamed after the group. This was the chosen location because it's close to the mural of Jam Master Jay and to the Hip Hop Musuem, potentially attracting more tourists.


Congrats to Run & Dmc. JMJ is looking down and celebrating without a doubt.
